Temptations of a Brokers Life.

From the start, the boy entering broker
Office will be iDtrusted with large sums of
money to carry to the bank or TO customers.
He may be in an Office where bank-bllls
and shining gold are within his reach all
the time, and he will be so completely alb
sorbed in the subject of stocks, bonds and
money that it will be somewhat strange if
he does net soon begin TO look at the get
ting of money as the most important BUSH
ness Of life. And when he is little older
and becomes clerk or cashier, he will be
exposed to the temptation to increase his
income by k-gambling-"s specializing"
as il is cRlled-on his own account. Such
ventures are OF course very hazardous and
on all accounts should be Stunned. A
broker requires great strength of character
to resist the temptation to get wealthy by
false methods; and boy should think long
and well before he adopts the calling.
For the brokers' business is at best un-
stable. The work is done quickly in the
midst Of great excitement, and at high
pressure" as we say. As money comes
quickly and easily to the broker, it is not
so highly priced as If it we're earned by the
toll which produces a visible result, and it
usually goes as easily as it comes. Brokers,
of course, defend their own occupation.
They will tell you that their services as
agents IN securing stocks and bonds are
needed; but they will not deny that stock
brokerage would cease to be profitable
business, except to very few firms, if peo-
pie were to stop specializing in securities.
OF course, there are many men in this busi-
ness who have risen to wealth and to emf
hence as fnanciers, who would scorn to do
a mean or dishonorable act. All honor to
such men, because they must often have
been sorely tempted to do wrong.
would not be unjust to this large class
of men, so many of whom have personal
traits which we are bound to admire. They
are open-handed with their means. Their
word to one another is as good as bond.
In fact, a large proportion of the business
transacted upon the Exchange is done
without written contract, and depends
solely upon the good faith of the members
concerned. Their promptness to respond
on public appeals for aid or sympathy is
proverbial. Yet all this should have no
influence upon a boy who is deciding
whether or not he shall be a broker.-Geo.

HOW FOUR MEN DIED.
Three of Them Were Murdered and the
Last One Met RattIesnake.

Three of Them Here Murdered and the
Last One Met a RattIesnake.
The Shakespeare Hotel, an old ruined
adobe, was the principal hotel in the place,
and there took up my quarters on my ar
rival. says New Mexico correspondent of
the New York Star. 1t was kept by poor
old German named Molliter, who had
adopted a very pretty girl named Lisa Lin
coin. She was about sixteen, and being,
with one exception, the only woman in
the place, had many admirers. Among
others was desperate of the Curly Bill
gang, known as Charlie Williams. OF
course that was not his name, as nearly
every man changes his name when he goes
on the frontier. Williams had an idea that
old Molliter was going to marry the girl
himself. And so one evening. when
''Rocksy" opened the first big saloon in
Shakespeare, and all the boys were drinking
in it, he approached the poor Dutchman
and said:
Every man in this country should go
heeled. Are you heeled?n
NO" replied bis unsuspecting victim.
Drawing his revolver, Williams shot
Molliter dead.
In accordance with the beautiful system
that prevails in New Mexico, which is a
virtual paradise for thugs and murderers,
Williams was released by Justice of the
Peace on s., 600 bail. He went up to Silver
City, and while he was drinking in the
Centennial saloon miner named Critten-
cen came in and began boasting OF rich
gold find he had made in the Pinos Altos
Mountains. Williams insisted that he
should tell where he found the gold and
take him in as partner. This Crittenden
refused to do, and next morning, while on
the way to his claim, be looked back aud
saw Williams following him. He drew
his gun, fired at Williams and dropped
him from his horse. he then rode OF
and his victim managed to get into
town, where it was found that his
knee-cap had been so shattered by the bull
let that amputation was necessary. This
Williams refused to submit to, ana he lin
gered along for two months and absolutely
died by inches. Three times his coffin was
made for him, and each time another man
filed it. On the fourth occasion, however,
the coffin was occupied by the right in
habitant. Meanwhile Crittenden pursued
his way to bis claim, but about the time
that Williams died news was brought into
town that he had been bitten by a rattle
snake and had died from the effects of the
poison.
The local paper, the New Southwest,
summed up this extraordinary affair in the
following laconic sentence: 'Molliter is
said to have killed a man in the East
Williams killed Molliter, Crittenden killed
Williams, a rattlesnake killed Crittenden,
and the snake Is yet to be heard from.h

General AverilI, the Union cavalry
leader, tells an interesting story of the
first time he ever saw ULYSSES s, Grant. Ii
his way to join his regiment in New
Mexico. When he got fourteen miles or
so west of ST. Louis, leave was given him
to go back for few days. He had to wait
nearly an hour at Kirkwood for a return
ing train, and he passed the time chatting
with Lieutenant Craig and his wife on the
porch of their cottage. Craig was the COM
missary of the expedition.
While they were sitting there there
came up the country road which skirted
the railway single horseman wearing
blue overcoat, such as private soldiers
wear, and black felt hat rather broken and
worn. In his hand he carried a small black
snake whip, which he applied to the pot
bellied mare he was riding. The animals
name and tail, it was noticed, were full of
burrs. The brownish-red face of the
stranger was covered with stubby, sandy
beard. When he reached the gate he
halted, dismounted and fastened his ami
NAL to the picket fence. Lieutenant Craig
went down to meet him. After an earnest
opverSation the man unfastened his ami
nal, slowly mounted and rode away.
When the Lieutenant returned to the porch
be remarked: "Averill, would you believe
that that man had ever belonged to the
armY?'

been an old soldier"

That's Old Ulysses Grant of the Fourth
Infantry" the Lieutenant answered. "He

rations while we are crossing the plains.

General Averill supplements this story
OF his first glimpse at the coming Union
commander with another about his last
meeting with the Confederate commander

audience and members were leaving the
chamber the Speaker remouuted the ros-

0'BTien was IN the room, and extended to
him an invitation to mount the platform
beside him. The chamber at this time was
nearly filled with spectators, many of
whom were ladies, aud large proportion
of whom had followed Editor O'Brien on
his tour through the city into the capitol.
A passage way was soon formed IN the
center aisle, through which Mr.. OBrien
passed
The famous editor, who appeared to be
in good health and spirits, was greeted with
hearty applause. Mr.. O'Brien made a ten
minute speech, in which he referred to the
universal hospitality with which he had
been received everywhere in America; to
the feeling of security he experienced when
he found himself under the glorious stars
and stripes at Cape Vincent, and to the
great honor now accorded him by the Leg
islature of New York. The Irish cause, he
declared, would ever 90 on. Nothing could
daunt its promoters. They had the great
est leader in history and the greatest living
Englishman (Gladstone) for their advocate.
The Liberal party of England had never
undertaken a great movement which it had
not ultimately carried to success. He could

advocate and promoter of the Irish cause

Mr.. Parnell in the chamber, and that two
years ago, while he Mr.. Husted) was abroad
Mr.. Parnell confirmed the very statement
which Mr.. O'Brien had just made: That

A Republican nspector.

Last Monday, during the election in the
town OF Ridgeview, in this county, John
w. Reed, voter in the corporation, hunted
up the polls for the purpose of exercising
the glorious right of suffrage guaranteed
MIN by the Constitution and laws of our
great Republic by casting his ballot for the
straight Democratic ticket. He found the
polling place occupied by David B. Hood.
a Republican politician, and no one else
near. Mr.. Reed said he desired TO vote.
'An right" answered Hood, II will write
you ticket" and before the astonished
Democrat could recover from the shock
caused by the cool effrontery of the in
spector, the ballot was made out and de-
posted in the box and the name of the
voter registered. Cant / see who l am

covered his voice. at is not necessary; it
would make no difference" replied Davy.
Hood was inspector, judge and clerk of the
election. He selected the candidates, wrote
the tickets, voted them all, counted the
votes, canvsssed the returns and commits
stoned the officers elected. Had such
gross outrage been perpetrated upon a
negro in the South, the Northern Repub-
lican papers would have been wild over it.
As it is, nothing will be thought OF it and
no punishment visit the offender.
